First Glimpse: Hitchin's former Wilko store has now opened as a Poundland.
The cut price national chain started trading on the Bancroft site at the weekend.
The stored reopen as a Poundland on Saturday (October 28) following Wilko being forced into administration last month.
As you can see by our Nub News pictures (below, and on our carousel above this story) after we paid a visit to the discount shop this weekend, Poundland is now up and running, a matter of weeks after Wilko closed for good.
On sale in the Hitchin store are hundreds well-known brands in 17 shopping categories including food and drink, health and beauty, household, gardening, DIY, pet, stationery, books, DVDs and toys.
The home of the former Poundland on Hitchin High Street which closed during the pandemic - the site that used to house Woolworth's the chain ceased to exist - still remains empty despite a unique, creative art pop up at the premises recently.
